Old enough to sadly realize my best days  of feeling even remotely well are behind me and the way this country is headed that's ok.

59.

Fortunate to be in better physical health and condition than many others younger than I, but old enough to remember, and know, of better times.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I'm 72 and unlikely to reach 73 given my mood and the current state of our feral government.


I am 76 and am hopeful I will have a chance to post the head of a treasonous bastard on a spike.
It is a simple ambition I know.  Someone else can have the pleasure of dispatching him/her.
I am after all a peaceful man.

I have always known what I know now... The problem was that back then I didn't think it made a difference. You are proposing wisdom for the youth... which time and again has proven to be an incompatibility.  :shrug: It comes with white hair and nothing else.

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord gives thee...

I also have clothes over 30 years of age.  My wife is always after me to get rid of stuff after a few years.  If the clothes are still in good shape, why get rid of them?  Everything is disposable for her!!!

I inherited my dad’s WWII  Eisenhower jacket with his medals. He got that jacket in 1945. I also have his dog tags.



I have a childhood stuffed tiger I received on my 4th birthday too.

My best advise is to do it as often and as vigorously as possible.
